Amr Moussa arrived in Lebanon on Wednesday to offer a plan to tackle a protracted political crisis in the country, whose parliament has been unable to elect a president since November 23 over disputes between the ruling majority and the Hizbollah-led opposition.
Moussa has so failed to persuade the pro-Western parliamentary majority and the pro-Syrian opposition to agree to a plan adopted by the 22-nation Arab League, which proposed a speedy presidential election, the formation of a national unity government and new legislation regulating elections and governmental appointments.
Both camps agree that army General Michel Suleiman should succeed ex-President Emile Lahoud to break the political impasse, but they cannot agree on the formation of a new government.
